Teachers create our futures. They train young minds and sculpt a new generation, not just in academics but also in empathy, communication and people skills.
Unfortunately, many of them have absolutely had enough of doing this indispensable yet arduous job on a pittance salary and without proper support from schools. Add to that having little to no avenues to discipline bad behaviour, and you have the perfect storm to make someone quit.
One such example is this public school teacher on the east coast of Brisbane who detailed what happened to her one day in the classroom.
It was this experience, along with a chronic lack of funding and resources that prompted her to resign in the same TikTok video.
"Student called me a fat b*tch today, and they will be losing no playtime tomorrow," she said in the video, walking around the streets of Ormiston, Brisbane.
"[The child] said it to a whole group of students and then threatened all the other kids that they would beat them up, choke them and push them if they told me," she explained. "When I asked [school leadership] what the consequence would be for this child, they told me 'nothing.'"
